View Full Version : Who was the real "Mr. Unstoppable?"

We're not talking Roy Jones, so matter how vigorously he claimed it in his song. And we're not talking the guy with the best chin neccessarily. We're talking about the guy, who, whether due to chin, recooperation and savvy, or just pure defensive skills, was the fighter you simply can't see being stopped at his weight.

There are quite a few for me: Hagler, Monzon, Robinson, Ali, Whitaker, Mayweather, Gavilan, Greb, Hopkins, Toney, Pryor, maybe a few more.

Whatcha think?

Although Chuvalo and 'Tex' Cobb were stopped I doubt many could knock them out.

I think anyone can be stopped past their prime (Ali, Whitaker, Robinson, Pryor from that list were) but some of the guys would probably never be truly knocked out, maybe stopped on injuries and cuts but not KO'd.

A great defensive fighter like Whitaker is almost impossible to knock out. Even Tito couldn't do it when Whitaker was coked up and past his prime so I doubt anyone could.

Ali could take any shot and recover. Frazier wore him down with bodyshots for 15 rounds and hit him with a flush left hook, knocked him down and Ali got up after 2 seconds. He took hits from Shavers, Foreman and Liston, so I doubt he could be KO'd.

Robinson was knocked down many times but was never out. He actually started fighting even harder when he was hurt. The only time he was stopped in his long career was against a LHW because of exhaustion.

Hagler's head was a rock. Hearns hit as hard as anyone and when he punched Hagler his right hand broke.

Toney too he went up from middleweight to heavyweight and was never stopped and hardly ever knocked down legitimately (once by Reggie Johnson and the humiliating KD against RJJ, the Peter knockdown wasn't much). His defensive skills and his hard head make him almost unstoppable.

But if he keeps fighting past his prime someone is eventually going to stop him. Toney should just quit.

Uhh Hagler could stop Monzon and vice versa. No one is unstoppable not named Rocky Marciano.

Tyson Jones
12-25-2007, 08:33 PM
jones at 160 and 168, hell even at 175 in his prime he was unstoppable. Ali was unstoppable but he eventually got stopped, leonard was unstoppable but he eventually got stopped.

We're talking stop as in finish the fight, as in T/KO the other fighter. Neither Hagler or Monzon could finish the other, I guarantee you that. Marciano would've been stopped by many HW's as well. But I have a feeling you're just trying to rile me up like you do everyone else so I'll leave it alone after this post, unless you post something intelligent.

They both went the distance many times and were never stopped.
Because of that I would say a clash between them would end in a decision as well.

Also Marciano was almost stopped on cuts against Ezzard Charles. But he was truly hard to knock out.

I don't think Louis was too small his weight went from 200 to 220 which is quite normal for a heavyweight, he was also 6'2. Ibragimov, Tyson and Holyfield are about the same size.

Louis would obviously have trouble with bigger and better heavyweights like Ali, Lewis, Foreman, maybe Wlad but he could still compete at a high level.

But Marciano would have big trouble with todays heavyweights, he would probably be a light heavyweight or a cruiserweight today.
Fights like Toney vs Marciano and RJJ vs Marciano are the kind of fights people should discuss about rather than Marciano vs Lewis/Wlad/Tyson.

As a locomotive that cannot be stopped in his tracks you gotta go with the human punching bag George Chuvalo. He was never once knocked off his feet. When he was past his prime and got stopped by Forman in the 4rth round, it wasnt the ref but his manager that stopped the fight. Chuvalo's qoute "What are you nuts!". That says it all.

As far as nobody being able to beat them. Although it may look like a believe everything the media says, keep in mind, I am in the media. I have to go with Mayweather Jr. His record says it all. 39 have tried, 39 have said they would beat him, yet like record is 39-0. He has beaten the opponents that were infront of him and thats all a fighter can do. Some may say that he hasnt fought anbody. I will give you a list of notable fighters he has beaten. One's that were top in their day.

1. Tony Pep, W10
2. Angel Manfredy Ko2
3. Diego Corrales Ko10
4. Jose Luis Castillo W12 (twice)
5. Arturo Gatti Ko6
6. Zab Judah W12
7. Oscar De La Hoya W12
8. Ricky Hatton Ko10

Keep in mind I am not a Mayweather fan, but the record says it all. All of those a very credible fighters. Some may question Pep, but keep in mind Floyd was only 21 when he beat an former #1 ranked fighter.

Probably the greatest super flyweight in the history of boxing.
But super flyweights haven't been around for too long and there isn't that much competition. Maybe someone who knows more about the lighter divisions may know more about the division's history.

Galaxy fought mostly in his home country Thailand and finished his career with a record of 49 wins (43 by KO) and 1 loss. Yes he lost only once on points and that was when he was just starting as a pro. He held the WBA title for 8 years from 84 to 92. Didn't lose for 11 years.

I've watched a few of his matches and he is pretty exciting. But you could criticize him for not fighting outside his homeland and because he never tried to unify the titles.

As for Kaynan and Khaosai Galaxy. Sorry to say, but Galaxy is tremendously overrated for me. Not only was is competiton(though not terrible, as some of his opponents, though not known or elite, were very good fighters) subpar for an ATG, but his fighting style in general. Very lackadaisical, which only works on sub-par competition that he faced, which hands raised similar to hands of a muay thai fighter, which is understandable, given where he's from.

He was simply too lazy and lacked too many qualities to cut it against other greats near his weight I would say. He did have tremendous power though, which cut it against the comp he was facing, but I don't see anything in the footage I've seen of him that leads me to believe he was an elite fighter.

That's one of the vids I'm talking about. While immensely lazy early on due to his sub-par opponent, even when he does start to open up, pressure, and throw hard shots, he still lacks the defense, technique, and overall boxing ability to get it done at the world level, which is why he never fought outside of his area. I see many guys around his weight beating him.

Of course it was his best weight; he held his only title there. And the division was re-introduced in 1979 after failing miserably before that.So he was basically the first great champ- most fighter never ventured to that weight class until much later.

It's got to be Mayweather. People who say Ali aren't really thinking to clearly, he was beaten by Frazier, Spinx, Norton and Holmes (he should never have fought with Holmes). He was probably the greatest heavyweight but he wasn't unstoppable.

Foreman seemed like he was after destroying Frazier and Norton incredibly easy but Ali out classed him.

ali lost to those you listed OUT of his prime, but during the 60s he was untouchable. I agree, hagler was mr. unstoppable.

After losing to Frazier and Norton he still managed to come back and beat Foreman who looked to be unstoppable. I wouldn't exactly say Ali was out of his prime when he lost to Frazier or Norton, thus why I don't think he was unstoppable.

as fast as frazier was he wouldnt catch him in his prime, ali could dance all 15 rounds in his prime, and against norton he was coasting and not taking norton seriously. He lost to those 2 after his layoff for a few years, so no it wasnt his prime.

Chris Eubank, Wayne McCulloch, Rocky Marciano, Marvin Hagler, Carlos Monzon, Muhammad Ali and Pernell Whitaker all spring to mind.

Is he really worth mentioning in a thread about unstoppable fighters? The guy had a glass chin.

Your choices in the previous post were excellent though, particularly McCullough and Eubank.

Yeah I see your point mate I was just impressed with how he got up from murderous shots.
Cheers for comments regarding McCullough and Eubank , those two had 'Rocky' style chins.

Ray Mercer, till he was 41, took some good shots from Lewis, Holyfield, Witherspoon, Damiani, Morrison.
David Tua, still yet to touch the canvas in 53 fights, against Lewis, Ibeabuchi, Rahman, Maskaev, Moorer.

We're not talking Roy Jones, so matter how vigorously he claimed it in his song. And we're not talking the guy with the best chin neccessarily. We're talking about the guy, who, whether due to chin, recooperation and savvy, or just pure defensive skills, was the fighter you simply can't see being stopped at his weight.

There are quite a few for me: Hagler, Monzon, Robinson, Ali, Whitaker, Mayweather, Gavilan, Greb, Hopkins, Toney, Pryor, maybe a few more.

Whatcha think?
LES DARCY, his defensive skills were either incredible or he was the toughest son of a ***** of them all. Darcy was never even knocked down let alone stopped in 50 fights. Yeah he's in the mix.

Johnny Tapia. Good defense (when he remembered it) and a simply unbelievable chin and desire to win.

Also: What's with all these ancient threads getting bumped?
